Executive Summary
Former Medtronic chief Bill Hawkins has come out of a short-lived retirement to lead privately-held blood screening specialist Immucor. He will replace outgoing CEO Joshua Levine on 17 October – Mr Levine has been at Immucor for less than four months, having joined the company in June (www.clinica.co.uk, 13 June 2011). He is stepping down to spend more time with his family, and said the challenge of having his family in California and his office in Atlanta, Georgia, had become unsustainable.
